Skulduggery Pleasant - Songfics, Dribbles and Drabbles.

Company

I sighed, and rested my head against the headrest behind her. The leather seat of the Bentley was, for the first time ever, starting to get uncomfortable. It stuck to the skin on the back of my thighs, but to be fair I had been sitting in it for the past twelve hours.

"Why couldn't we have flown?" I groaned, adding a whine onto the end of my question.

Skulduggery kept his eyes on the road, his posture not changing as he gave me the same answer he had been for the last five hours. "Because people want us dead, Valkyrie. They're going to have sorcerers at every airport in the world."

I pouted. I understood that, I did. But I just wished that maybe the Sanctuaries would give up on their search for the us. We'd only been on the road, running from them for the past six years, and occasionally Skulduggery would deem a small town safe enough for us to stay in, until our searchers found us, and then we hit the streets again. And it might have been a shallow thought, this next one, but I was pissed. I mean, how long could a young, beautiful girl like me go without sex?

Okay, maybe not young. I was coming up to my six hundredth soon. But still.

I looked over at Skulduggery... and my mind wandered. And then it stopped. Ew. Or was it? I squinted my eyes, still appraising the skeleton beside me. Was it gross? We loved each other, even if Skulduggery didn't want to admit it. And we'd known each other for a long, long time.

Could we try to... be together? Would it be awkward, because he didn't, well, he didn't have a dick?

Skulduggery tilted his head, into my direction. "What?" He asked, and I snapped my head up.

"What, what?"

"Why were you looking at me like that?"

I turned in my seat, sitting straight again, letting my hair hide the blush that rose to my cheeks. "I wasn't looking at you like anything." I mumbled.

Actually I was. I was thinking what sex with you would be like. Not that I'd tell you that, arrogant prick.

He laughed, and the a gloved hand tucked my hair behind my ear, and I froze as his thumb stroked my reddened cheek. I stopped breathing, as his velvety, smug purr slithered across the air between us, "then why are you blushing, love?"

"Because you're touching me, maybe?"

Skulduggery pulled his hand back, "I touch you all the time and you've never blushed before. What makes this time different?"

"Nothing," I mumbled. "Nothing at all. Concentrate on driving would you? We're going to crash."

"Don't be ridiculous." He scoffed but turned forward nonetheless.

That was the end of the conversation for a few minutes until I couldn't take it anymore. I groaned, hoping that this didn't destroy everything.

"Do you reckon you'll ever have sex with anyone?" I asked, keeping my head turned towards my window.

Skulduggery didn't answer for a long time and I turned towards him, to find my staring straight at me.

"Wha-"

"Why?" He cut me off. "Why?"

I frowned at him. "I was just wondering."

He pulled the car over and tapped the sigils under his collar. He grabbed me from under my shoulders, pulling me over to sit on his lap.

"What... what are you doing?"

Skulduggery smirked at me with his new lips, "you." He said, and then a hand rose to run through my hair, where he gripped the back of my head and pulled me to him.

His lips pushed against mine, and I gasped, so not ready for his sudden control over my mouth. He took the opportunity, and his tongue slipped passed my lips and met with my own. His hands trailed down my back, and rising up under my shirt, and tracing patterns onto my skin.

I threw my sanity out of the window then, and rose onto my knees so my face was above his, and gripped his hair tightly and kissed him back, with equal roughness. He growled low in his throat, and his hands gripped me more tightly, sure to leave bruises along my hips. He bit down on my lower lip, making me cry out before he trailed kisses along my jaw.

"Get back in your seat," he groaned suddenly, and once I was back over and buckled in, he turned the keys and the Bentley roared out onto the road.

"No way am I fucking you in my car."
